Instructions
- In a pot large enough to fit all the ingredients place the milk, onions, and mace. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes. Then add the tripe and season cautiously (you can add more seasoning later). Bring up to a gentle boil and reduce again to a simmer for a further 45 minutes to 1 hour, checking the tripe’s giving qualities with a sharp knife. Be careful, as if cooked too long tripe will just melt away.
- Now, in another pan, melt the butter and add the flour. Cook this, stirring to avoid browning, until it smells biscuity. Continue stirring vigorously (a whisk might be useful here) and add a couple of ladles of the liquor from the tripe pot. Once thoroughly mixed and smooth, return this mixture to the tripe. Stir in thoroughly and simmer for a further 15 minutes to allow the dish to thicken slightly. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve hot, using a slotted spoon, with mashed potato.
- Visually, as well as gastronomically, there is a great serenity to a plate of tripe and onions.
